...sentencing, was given 25 years; and former Enron chief executive Jeffrey Skilling got 24 years. In April 2008, a federal judge in Colorado sentenced 72-year-old Norman Schmidt to 330 years for using money from his investment scheme to purchase properties near Aspen and eight NASCAR race cars, among other items. Similar to Madoff's scheme, Schmidt's firm would send investors fraudulent monthly statements claiming big returns on their investments and urged them to contribute more cash...

Japan, China and South Korea also have some delicate issues to settle. One of the most contentious is likely to be intellectual-property protection, which is not particularly strong in China.

...health care as the top five issues most Indonesians care about, SBY is the only candidate regularly polling above or near 50%, the threshold necessary to win in one voting round. Still, some polls - and it is difficult to know which surveys are unbiased and reliable - show the race getting closer. Failure to reach that will send the top two vote getters to a second round in September, something the incumbent and front runner would probably like to avoid.
